Arriving early to #Montreal? June 24 has two things worth knowing about:
– Fleet's free GitOps workshop, 1–5 pm, Hyatt Place Montreal Downtown https://mdoyvr.com/attendees/activities/
– Pre-conference social at L'Amère à Boire, 5:30–10:30 pm, free for attendees, no-host bar.
The entire last year of people going, "Make improvements to Liquid Glass, just make performance and usability improvements. We don't need new features! Why do #macOS windows have different quarter radii 🫠?!"
Then, an entire #WWDC26 keynote of basically just that plus the long anticipated #AppleIntelligence enhancements to #Siri — and everyone is like — yawn, boring! I have no idea how you're supposed to please anybody anymore.
Oh well. Bring on the betas and the #MacAdmin improvements!

Edit mode with multi-select for bulk removal
Update all repos with real-time streaming output

The most dangerous myth: "Just drag apps to Trash."
That removes the .app file but leaves:
→ ~/Library/Application Support/
→ ~/Library/Caches/
→ ~/Library/Preferences/
Tools like AppCleaner catch these, but manual cleanup works too.
